"At first I wanted to accompany them. After all, it's just one death. Eighteen years later, I can be a hero again." As he said this, tears flowed from his eyes.
"As for dying, it's enough to just talk about it. If you really ask me to do it, I still don't have the courage. I'll just wait to die." Tears were flowing, but my mouth was smiling. "A few months ago, I was thinking about going to the Peach Blossom Spring. They said that place is good and there is food there. I thought so too. Can't we eat peach blossoms when they bear fruit? But now I can't walk anymore. It's better to die at home."
Lin Jiuxi remained silent, not knowing what to say.
If she gave him the silver, firstly, he would not be able to keep it, and secondly, she herself could not give him that much silver.
Don’t you see that the place is full of equally pitiful people who are too hungry to stand up and can only lie on the ground waiting to die?
If you don't talk while sleeping, you can eat less.
Of course they themselves had nothing to eat.
Lin Jiuxi walked up to the two sisters and said to them, "Are you willing to come with me?"
The latest chapter of this novel will be published on 6>@/9 Book# Bar. Please go to 6>@/9 Book# Bar to read it!
Besides, getting food requires silver, and she doesn't have enough money.
At this moment, Lin Jiuxi even felt a little angry at Nangong Xuan. Even if he was sick, he shouldn't have harmed the people of the state like this. Compared with the death and endurance of so many people, his illness was really insignificant.
Living seems like a kind of endurance, while death becomes a relief.
"Help, help!" A girl of sixteen or seventeen was running stumblingly, holding a weaker girl in her arms.
The two girls were still a little scared, and the older one took the initiative to say, "Benefactor, we don't need to eat these, we can just nibble on two steamed buns. You eat, and I'll serve you."
Those who sold their children were full of joy, and those who ate Guanyin soil - no, in fact, they didn’t care much whether it was Guanyin soil or not, as long as it was anything that could fill their hungry stomachs, they were willing to stuff it into their mouths.
After Lin Jiuxi returned to the inn, he ordered a table of food for the two sisters, but reminded them not to eat too much at once, otherwise they would probably get bloated and hurt their stomachs.
The person who had just spoken saw Lin Jiuxi's surprise and said calmly, "When people are very hungry, there is nothing they can't do. Do you know why there are no rotting corpses on this street? Even if there are a few, they will be gone by night."
Her mind was in a mess. She was watching this evil world with her own eyes, but she didn't know what to do.
Behind her were two middle-aged men and women holding knives.
Her heart was heavy, filled with burdensome responsibilities.
Everyone knows that what they need is food.
He even looked at Xiao Yueran with malice: "If I really couldn't get up, you two wouldn't be able to escape either."
"No need to do that. We are not hungry yet. You should eat and drink enough before you can work for me." Lin Jiuxi smiled gently and asked the proprietress to bring them two bowls of porridge.
Killing someone means paying with your life? There are dead people everywhere here! Who cares about this? I am just surviving by instinct.
"He has a knife in his hand? Who dares to stop him?"
Lin Jiuxi's face was filled with astonishment.
Lin Jiuxi held Xiao Yueran in his arms and walked along with the two sisters.
This is hell on earth, and the laws of the human world have long lost their effect here.
While Lin Jiuxi was thinking, two screams came from behind him.
The man chased after them with a knife in his hand, shouting fiercely, "Don't mind your own business! Otherwise I will eat you too."
Lin Jiuxi felt that the unfilial daughter they had talked about in their previous chat might have died from sudden overeating.
There is no food even here, where is she going to get food?
Although porridge may not contain enough nutrients, as a liquid food, porridge can be easier to digest and reduce irritation to the stomach.
Lin Jiuxi also did not think that the pain felt by a person of noble status would be more noble and severe than that felt by a person of low status.
As the flames exploded, the two men immediately fell to the ground in fear, and the knives in their hands fell on themselves.
The Buddha said that all beings are equal.
Guanyin soil is famous not only because it is a kind of soil, but also because it is too strange for people to use it as food. But a more important reason for its fame is that it tastes the best among all the soil.
But where did the food come from? Hezhou was already the largest grain-producing area in Nanzhao.
On the way back to the inn, all I saw were the same tragic scenes, with countless people struggling between life and death.
"He wants to kill someone and no one cares?" Lin Jiuxi hugged Xiao Yueran in his arms with cold eyes.
The Hunyuan Thunderbolt Ball was small, and the amount of gunpowder that could be loaded into it was limited, so its power was also very ordinary. The two men were not even dead, and they lay on the ground groaning.
They have been hungry for a long time, and their stomachs have shrunk to a very small size. If they suddenly overeat, it is very likely to cause the gastric antrum to rupture, or even cause the aorta to rupture and cause death.
The elder sister knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "I am willing to work like a cow or a horse to repay you for saving my life."
Lin Jiuxi took out two Thunderbolt Hunyuan Balls from his pocket and threw them at the middle-aged man and woman.
Lin Jiuxi brought them back to the inn.
The proprietress brought over the porridge and said with a pitiful look on her face, "Oh, you two girls, you have suffered so much. You two are such pretty girls. Alas, the world is not good now. Wherever these pretty girls go, people will praise them."
After the two girls had eaten and drunk their fill, Lin Jiuxi asked them to take a bath to wash off the bugs, fleas and other things on their bodies, and changed them into new clothes.
Lin Jiuxi immediately made the same exclamation as the proprietress, "This is indeed a beauty."
The two of them were dirty and their hair was greasy, so Lin Jiuxi didn't see how beautiful they were at the time.
But now she had washed herself clean and put on a clean middle garment, her clothes were white, her long black hair was not completely dry yet, and it was spread out behind her. After being soaked in hot water, her dry face became rosy and white.
